SP SA Corner Creatures - zFrontier Exclusive

"Let the calmness wash over you as you take in the breathtakingly calm scenery of the earth."

A cup of tea in hand, relaxing in a corner, enjoying the sight of the small world enclosed by your windowsill. This is the embodiment of Japan’s Sumikko Gurashi.

Sumikko Gurashi, or creatures in the corner, is a group of creatures that thrive in corners, lazing about, cute as can be. The designer of this set, Wenjie, drew his inspirations from these tiny critters.

Design inspirations

Instinctively taking the corner seat on the subway, in the café, don’t you get an odd sense of comfort in a space - a corner, that you can call your own?

The “polar bear” who dislikes the cold, the fidgety “penguin”, the leftover “fried pork”, the shy “neko”..., all embody the casual charm that is Sumikko Gurashi.

The designer thought up this SA set from the colors of the “polar bear” and “small lizard”.

Polar bear: a chubby polar bear from the North Pole who is both afraid of the cold and afraid to greet strangers. His favorite way to pass the time is to sip his tea in his own little corner. The whiteness of his fur is used for the base kit’s main color, corresponding to Signature Plastics’s WCK.

Small lizard: is actually a dinosaur that survived the extinction, but because he’d be taken away if exposed, he’s been pretending to live as a tiny lizard. He enjoys swimming and eating fish. The cyan of the small lizard is used as the main color for the modifiers, corresponding to Signature Plastics’s BEY.

Novelty corner keys

The adorable Sumikko Gurashi like to stack themselves in a corner, their fuzzy bodies contrasting against the sharp edges of the corner. The designer simplified the design of “corners” and created two designs for novelty keys.
